because firing a co ordinator halfway through a season rarely has any effect and certainly is not the way to create stability for a bunch of rookies and journeymmen


If he is going to be canned it will be at the end of a season


i think people are going to be dissapointed And mallory is the only realistic casualty this season


Fisch is tied to bortles And i don't think they would want a second scheme when they have hardly implemented the first.


Babich is the next most likely casualty in my book

with Bradley calling plays you have to wonder what effect babich is having but the d is doing well at the mo so it seems unlikely

Not to try and beat a dead horse, but by that argument, why is it then acceptable to cut players in the middle of the season (i.e. Watson)?  Does that not have the same affect on stability?

That's fine its a good question and i hope this is a good answer

its slightly different because the better coaches don't move til the off season because they are invested in their current team


Added its tough to implement a new scheme in one week before a game so its a bit of a waste of time


taking Watson he wasn't playing well and caldwell judged that activating Colvin would have better impact on the side


not to mention there are more players available on practice squads etc so there is more chance of getting an upgrade

in our case we snapped up khairi fort a young fourth rounder from new Orleans

Because you can find players on the waiver wire that you can bring in. Is there some special teams coach that just got cut by a team waiting to be picked up? No.

but if something is so bad isnt anything better than current?

Could it honestly get worse having an interm Coord?

 

Sorry but I have never seen so many blocked kicks/punts by one team.

 

Not to mention we lose yards everytime they run it out of the end zone. A monkey can coach them take a knee no matter what cuz we suck at run backs.

Normally another coach will step into the roll maybe the DB coach or the Line coach. Why would you keep something so bad? I have a car that i know will break down everyday but yet I take it while I have another car that i can use but im not sure if it will be better. Sorry I would rather take a chance that car might not break down.

don't be sorry, at the end of the day these are all opinions but on the lose yards everytime thats really not true

vinateri (can't spell it) was booting it out the back of the end zone because todman is actually very good at kick returns and usually gets back to the 20.

 

punt returns is a different story but that really is on sanders being unable to make the first guy miss not the coverage but he was better last year so hopefully he will pick up... if not he's likely to be cut next year.

 

as for kick backs, this week with cribbs was the exception not the norm, overall we have been pretty good in return coverage. The odd one has slipped through but we haven't been bad and i've seen quite a few stopped short or fair caught

 

where we have been bad is blocked punts and kicks which is unacceptable i agree.

 

</div>
the problem is there probably isn't a guy out there that is much of an improvement and even if there was a guy that was a slight improvement he wouldn't really have time to implement anything. Plus you would have to sign him to a 2 or three year contract no 2 months til the end of the season which might hinder you from getting a much better candidate in the offseason

 

odds on the benefits of sacking mallory would be minimal this year. Better to wait til the offseason evaluate if there has been any improvement and if he is your guy then fire him at that point

 

Got to remember we've cut alot of our special teamers in lieu of more talented rookies ie telvin smith for chris prosinski so we've got lots of rookies in on punt coverage some of which probably haven't covered punts/ kicks for ages while in college so that won't be helping.

Terrible analogy
